Where to Install

I reinstalled FC4 and then proceeded to install ISPConfig but it experienced problems at the end

Code:

Warning: main(config.inc.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/install_ispconfig/install.php on line 624
Warning: main(): Failed opening 'config.inc.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/root/ispconfig/php/lib/php') in /home/install_ispconfig/install.php on line 624

Congratulations! Your ISPConfig system is now installed. If you had to install quota, please take the steps described in the installation manual. Otherwise your system is now available without reboot.

Despite the last line it won't go to the login page. It worked on the previous install but I think I may have installed it from the wrong directory this time.

What directory should ISPConfig be installed from/on? ?

Click to expand...

You can install it from any directory, as long as you first enter the install_ispconfig directory and then start the setup like this

Code:

./setup

from inside the directory.

I assume you got this error because you tried to install ISPConfig before and that install was interrupted and you dont have extracted the installer tar.gz again.

Will #apt-get remove ispconfig# remove the current intall?

To uninstall ISPConfig, run the following script:

Code:

/root/ispconfig/uninstall

If the uninstall script is not there, you can delete the following directorys manually:

Yes, don't do a second install from the same install_ispconfig directory. Delete this install_ispconfig directory, and then you _must_ unpack the ISPConfig tar.gz again. Then go to the new install_ispconfig and run

User root should be correct, but you need a password for the MySQL user root (which is different from the system user root!).

Code:

mysqladmin -u root password mypassword

works only if you haven't set a password before. Otherwise it's

Code:

mysqladmin -u root -pcurrentpassword password mypassword

so you need your password again...

well I wrote it down and it is familar to me but it does not seem to be working I did a restart on mysqld and it stopped ok but starting timed out and failed. Is it possible to uninstall MySQL and reinstall?

I guess I am now proficient in the insatllation because everything went perfect to include the install of ISPConfig.

But when I try to log into the ISPConfig page it keeps timing out. Browser states it is looking then connecting but it just keeps on connecting. Everything okay on that end with ISPConfig?

By the way thanks for the help along the way. It is great to have a place where they actually give you timely and comprehensive answers. I hope us newbs don't wear you and till out!

I found a procedure for mySQL password recovery and resetting AFTER I started reinstalling FC4. I can still post it if you don't mind me referencing where it came from. May come in handy for someone else.

then I used www.myserverIP.de:81 and it took me to the login page. I logged in but when I try to select anything the browser indicates "transferring from myIP" but the page never finishes, in fact according to my router nothing is moving in or out during this time.

I have a Belkin F5D7230-4 (cabled) does port 81 need to be opened? TCP and UPD? What would the description be, ISPConfig or www.mydomain.de?

When you try to connect to ISPConfig, you _must_ use the hostname and domain you used during installation. E.g., when you entered server1 as hostname and example.com as domain, then you have to type http(s)://server1.example.com:81 in the browser's address bar. And server1.example.com must resolve to your ISPConfig system!

And it still will not connect my server IP still gets me there and I can login.

Once I log in I can see all the selections such as Management, ISP Management, DNS Management an so on and I can see all of the sub menu selections on the left side but the right side never finishes generating. My browser indicates "Transferring data from 192.168.2.3.... but the router lights at that point indicate otherwise.

I attached the config.inc.php file, maybe you can see something I don't understand in it.

Do you have a DNS record for server1.thefractalfarm.net that points to your ISPConfig box?
As far as I can see you're in a local network (192.168.2.3), and I guess that server1.thefractalfarm.net resolves to a local IP address. You need to change this, or you can enter your IP address in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php:

where did you see local network 192.168.2.3?

After reloading FC4 and ISPConfig the other day I had forgotten to insert my named and zone files back in. Did that and fixed the can of worms that opened when I loaded them and restarted named.

server1 and 192.168.2.3 are the same. Also the same box where I have my ISPConfig, http, ftp, and mail. I am running in views so I attached my internal and external zone files. Maybe you can see if I am missing something. When I changed the hostname in the config.inc.php did I need to restart anything?

Is the name server where you created server1.thefractalfarm.net authoritative? I mean if the authoritative name server for thefractalfarm.net is 1.2.3.4, and you create the record for server1.thefractalfarm.net on the nameserver 9.8.7.6, then this won't work, because every time you type server1.thefractalfarm.net into your browser's address bar, then 1.2.3.4 is going to be asked, and it doesn't know server1.thefractalfarm.net...

You don't need to restart anything when you change config.inc.php. You might have to re-login into ISPConfig for the changes to take effect, but that's all.
